If you’re someone who’s exploring door options for your own project—first of all, welcome! And second, just a heads up: while Instagram is a great place to scroll through some highlights, it’s not the only place where our finished work lives.
If you’re serious about choosing the right door and want to dive deep into the kind of work we do, I actually have an extensive finished project library with over a decade of custom door installations. If you’d like to browse through it, just reach out and I’ll be happy to send it over.
Now, let’s talk about this monster of a door we did…
Double the Width, Double the Impact
At first glance, you might think this photo is stretched—but it’s not. What you’re seeing is a double door setup with each slab being 42 inches wide. That’s significantly wider than standard—most double doors top out around 36 inches per slab. So yes, this one makes an impression.
We also upsized the glass inserts to match the scale of the door. Larger glass not only keeps the proportions visually balanced but also allows more natural light to flow through—perfect for the space this door was designed for.
A Backyard Oasis, Reimagined
This door wasn’t installed in a typical front entrance. It was built for a multi-season recreational space in a client’s backyard—essentially a modern retreat that functions as either a work-from-home office or a flexible bonus room.
Fully insulated and heated, this structure is surrounded by nature and offers the kind of tranquility you just can’t get in a basement. Whether it’s for work, relaxing, or giving the kids a space of their own, this kind of setup is becoming more and more popular—and doors like this make it feel complete.
Watch for Falling Chestnuts
On a more personal note: I still remember installing this one under a massive chestnut tree that hung over most of the backyard. At one point, I nearly got taken out by falling chestnuts. Should’ve worn a hard hat, but I walked away unscathed (and with a great story).
Final Thoughts
This project is a great reminder that double doors don’t have to be standard. Going wider—like 42-inch slabs—and pairing them with custom-sized glass inserts can turn a simple structure into a true architectural feature.
And if you’re curious to see more doors like this—or completely different styles—I’ve got a whole project archive that tells the full story of what we do. Just ask.
